Senior Theses

Since joining Reed in Fall 2022, I’ve been the primary advisor on the following senior theses:

  • Shanna Goldman Understanding KolmogorovSinai entropy with information theory
  • Ryann Ruehman Power spectral density estimation in time series and asteroseismology
  • Evan Glasgow Gluing relations and operator methods in Hurwitz theory
  • Peihua Su Benjamin-Ono periodic traveling waves: pole dynamics and dispersion relations
  • Lena Bloom Maximum overdrive: a frequency response analysis of distortion due to clipping
  • Tina Qin Autoregressive time series modeling: parameter estimation and state prediction methods
  • Jesse Cao Classical Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity: towards quantization

I also served as the supporting advisor on the following interdisciplinary senior theses:

  • Will Stevens Probabilistically checkable proofs, inapproximability, and the Unique Games Conjecture
  • Hannah Kuder The Beesis: mathematical modeling of honeybee foraging and stability analysis
  • Rayn Samson Relativistic Ehrenfest relations for Klein-Gordon fields
